I strongly dislike the captive audience prompts that Microsoft forces on Windows users. Microsoft shouldn’t misuse Windows Updates and security patches as an opportunity to market its other products to customers. #BrowserChoice #TyrannyOfTheDefault

A full-screen dialog saying “Use recommended browser settings”. Users are given the options to “Use Microsoft recommended browser settings” or “Don’t update your browser settings”. It doesn’t clarify that this means switch to Microsoft Edge or keep your current default browser.
